We all spend too much time on the internet, but we might as well be spending too much time as efficiently as possible. So from Gina Trapani (of Lifehacker fame) comes five basic but indispensable browser tips. This is my favorite:
Open a link in a background tab by clicking your mousewheel. When you’re browsing blogs, news, Twitter, or Facebook you come across links you want to check out, but you don’t want to stop reading your current page.
If your mouse has a wheel on it, click links of interest with the mousewheel to open links in background tabs as you read down a page, so you can switch to them later without interrupting your flow now. An extra tip for mousewheelers: Close background tabs in one click of the mousewheel without switching to them first, too.
